To me if you're seeing more than 350F something isn't correct. I aim for 325, tops 350 is OK climbing a long grade.
I see many people lugging air cooled engines which is bad, you should always be trying for at least 3000rpm, if you're below 3000rpm you're in the wrong gear.
I know it's not a six, but my highly modified (nickies, stroker, EFI, 911 trans, etc.) 2.6L type 4 engine, in my '67 bug, rarely sees over 300F head temps.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
